5 Tips to Turn Marketing Leads Into Sales

1. Measure. Establish metrics to accomplish your marketing and sales goals to help you understand what is working and what’s not when the campaign goes live to avoid jumping to conclusions and avoid costly mistakes. An example:

100 Leads

$40/Exclusive Lead

40 Leads Contacted

20 Leads Qualified

10 Leads Meet

2 Deals Closed

20% Closing Ratio

$60,000 Total Revenue

7% Marketing Budget

Once you know your Closing Ratio you will have a realistic view of how many leads and how much cash flow it will take to make the sales revenue goals you desire.

2. Avoid Delay. New leads should be contacted within minutes while the project is top-of-mind and before another vendor is contacted. Pre-qualify the leads based on the criteria necessary for Sales to have a shot at making a sale.

3. Systematize. Use cloud technology to your advantage. A CRM will help you avoid dropping the ball on leads by keeping track of every step in the sales process. Created template responses for brand consistency when following up with prospects.

5. Revise. Discuss with stakeholders and make changes to improve overall results by striving to influence the metrics for each step in the marketing and sales funnel. Figure out what’s working and what is not to put more money and effort into sources and methods that get the best results.
